The Pentax 645 system has a good collection of lenses and both body or lenses are currently a bargain on the used market. This battery is a factory service item, so if you need to replace it, the camera must be sent away. There is a back up button cell battery for keeping settings. The camera uses 6 AA batteries for normal operations which I find it to be really convenient.

I will be selling one of my Contax 645 three bodies i currently own, one of my four film backs(MFB-1), one of my two waist level finders (MF-2) and the Distagon 45mm f2.8 IF lens, the 45-90mm f4.5 Vario Sonnar IF zoom lens and the 140mm f2.8 Sonnar IF lens. There are 2 tripod mounts one on the bottom and one on the left side of the body. Contax 645, with back, WLF, 45, 45-90 zoom & 140 lenses mint. There is a mechanism that allows you to make multiple exposures on the same frame for creative purposes. Alpa 12 TC - A-Series with PhaseOne IQ3 100MP digital. Please note that we also have additional film backs, polaroid back and PhaseOne P30+ digital back and a variety of lenses available for rental. 120 film yields 15 frames and 220 yields 30. 20 VAT Contax 645 with Finder and Film Back. You then unlock the film holder and remove and seal the film.

When the last picture is taken, the camera will wind the film into the take up spool. Once the holder is locked, and you press the shutter button, the camera will automatically wind the film to the first position. The film travels vertically instead of side to side. Some filters might have few usual light marks or scratches but they will be still perfectly fine to use. You load and pre-thread the film outside of the camera in the film holder and then insert the film holder into the camera.

CONTAX 645 BODY ISO
On top of the camera body is a cluster of buttons and an LCD display to change and display exposure mode, ISO setting, etc. The focusing screen can be changed for different photographic need. I have a large eye cup on the eye piece and optionally a magnifying eye piece can be attached to it for work requiring more precise focusing. There is a dioptre adjustment on the eye piece. One corner of the view finder has a red LED display for metering infomation. I find it adequate for my kind of work, which is landscape and nature. The incorporation of the grip handle allows me to hand hold it like an SLR, wh ich I thought was a great advantage over other MF box cameras. It incorporates a built-in grip with shutter release and an On/Off switch. The body is a unique box shape, deeper than wide, unlike SLRs. (The newer 645N even has the auto focus mechanism added to the mount system) It rivals the modern DSLR mounts that have contacts for aperture auto mode. It uses the Pentax 645 lens mount system, which upon my examination, is quite an advance mount. The operation of the camera is excellent too. It is quite heavy (lighter than my 67ii), solid construction and clean lines make the appearance very appealing. The construction of the camera is top notch. The camera utilizes in-lens motors and is compatible with a wide range of Carl Zeiss lenses.Having owned modern digital SLR cameras, going back to this is like re-discovering the good old days. It allow for data imprinting as well as a film barcode reader. The viewfinders are interchangeable, with the primary AE (with center-weighted and spot metering) easily swapped for a waist-level finder. The shutter assembly is metallic and electronically controlled, reaching speeds of up to 1/4000s. This minimizes mechanical wear and tear, and it improves the design and expansion flexibility. The communication between the lens, body, filmbacks, and viewfinders is purely electronic.
